Nanoindentation investigation of micro-fracture wear mechanisms in polycrystalline alumina

The initiation of surface damage under point loading has been investigated in polycrystalline alumina materials using low load continuous depth-sensing indentation equipment (nanoindentation). Pure alumina and liquid phase sintered materials containing 10% by weight of magnesium or calcium monosilic...
